Today work in progress:

1. Exhaust fan installation + kitchen plug points + back lane lighting + kitchen cabinet LED - Completed


2. Frosted on sliding door - Completed this is to avoid ppl can see through the back area especially my toilet door facing to living hall area.. after frosted the sliding door panel, it could help in feng shui things and more privacy feel..


3. Kitchen aluminium cabinets door installation - WIP

4. Toilet stuffs, cabinet, sink, tap, heater are pending as they are switching from water tank to direct water from pipe.. as water flor from tank is small.. - No idea what happen and how many require for this. Let's see by end of today..

5. Touch up paint is not complete yet.. should be the last step after all items above..

Can I get his contact?

pmed you..

you should contact him personally for any requests.. see whether he can fit your expectation and budget..

Due to little spare parts issue, the doors are fully complete by today. But tomorrow supplier will come and install for remaining.. this is the view by this evening..


It's simple kitchen cabinet but look good for me.. definitely sufficient for my mum to use it.. she don't want hood cause she don't know how to maintain and use it. So I have exhaust fan plug + backdoor with extra small openable area can have air ventilation on the left..

I have 6 plugs here. On right hand side I have another 2 plugs.. total 8 plugs points. Another point for fridge.. another 1 for wall fan.. total 10 plugs at the back of the house..

Another view original is toilet door but I have enclosed with wall and combine 2 individual toilet into 1 to make it spacious a bit.. refer my photos below. At the same time, future my mum can place some extra table or cabinets at that side. I have reserve plug point over there (covered by old green door)

2. Back door replaced with new black one

3. Another angle view from kitchen to sliding door


4. Toilet area should completed 95%.. left some touch up and install some accessories and it will done..



All paint touch-up have been done but still left a few edge area might need their help to do 1 more round.. so far I am happy with the output for a old subsale house renovation..

Very nice. It’s a very good $$$ spent.

thank you.. everything are necessary items so i am focus on these items first.. in future will have some photos to be hang and some deco/accessories things to colour up living hall area.. but for now, that it is.. very tired to handle all these as i am normal employee, need to work on weekdays and i got only spare time in weekend..

so far very love to my own layout plan like moving dining area to integrated with living area.. + sliding door.. not really spacious but good enough for my parents.. that's my affordability right now..

thx for sharing, i too will start renovation on a 20yr old subsales unit soon. good to have some reference from u : )

it is interesting journey from finding contractor, plan your layout as well as all the process.. but once things completed, really made differences and good to stay again..

wah so many BM ppl

Nice. I'm a bit late to this, but can you share details on your countertop?

Is it quartz?

nope.. it is actually tiles.. entire kitchen bottom are built by wet works+ tiles for long lasting.. then install aluminium door and drawers.. this house is purchase for my mum usage.. she like cooking all the times.. quartz stone not suitable for her usage.. i did have experienced quartz stone colour fade after some time..
